Inspection
After cleaning, inspect all parts for wear
or
dam-
age. Note the condition of the pins in the two lower
shift
levers, the shift lever socket at the top end of
the shift tube, and the inner end of the shift lever.
Inspect the steering shaft upper bearing for smooth
operation, and lubricate with Multi-Purpose Chassis
Lubricant or similar lubricant. If the bearing has any

signs of roughness or wear, it should be replaced. Re-
placement bearings are pre-lubricated.
Assembly
(1)
Position the spring washer on the ledge pro-
vided in the top end of the steering column jacket
(Fig. 12), and place the shift lever housing in posi-
tion at the top end of the column jacket.
(2) Place the two bearing housing retaining bolts in
position in the housing, and just start the nuts
on
them.
(3) Stand the column assembly upright, and lower
the bearing housing into position, engaging the bolt
heads in the slots in the column jacket.
(4)
Tighten the two retainer bolt nuts alternately
and evenly in steps to prevent unseating the bolt
heads from the slots. Tighten to
50
inch pounds.
(5)
Position the floor plate isolator in the opening
in the plate. Lubricate the isolator with a soap solu-
tion or rubber lubricant, then slide the
floor
plate as-
sembly on the steering column with the insulated
side down.
The floor plate assembly must be installed before
installing the shift tube and levers, since this cannot
be done after the shift tube and levers are in place in
the steering column.
NOTE: Metal to metal working surfaces should
be
lubricated with Multi-Purpose Lubricant to facilitate
installation.
(6)
Turn the nylon bushing on the shift tube (Fig.
ll ), so the two holes in the bushing are aligned with
the centerline of the 2nd and
3rd
speed shift lever,
then slide the
shift
tube and lever assembly through
the jacket tube and into the bearing housing.
(7)
Install the spacer (Fig. lo), around the selector
lever so it rests against the 2nd and 3rd speed shift
lever.
(8)
Install the low and reverse lever. Then install
the nylon washer, centering it over the end of the
shift tube.
